To object to the interview. I am a huge admirer of andrew marr and watch his programme most sundays, but i was appalled at the way he interviewed Boris Johnson last week. He kept posing questions and then, when boris was about to answer, would not let him answer and kept asking more questions and talking over his answers. In fact, he seemed more concerned about moving onto the next question than actually hearing what borisjohnson had to say. Well, with me to discuss that, and other issues around the bbcs Election Campaign coverage, is the editorial director of bbc news, kamal ahmed. Thank you for coming on newswatch. So the London Bridge attack had already become politicised. So viewers are right, arent they, to say that there wasnt a case for the Prime Minister to go on the Andrew Marr Show . I think there was a very strong case. The Prime Minister had already made a statement about how law changes may have affected the treatment of the perpetrator of this crime. And i think audiences

An hourat 8 30pm to come, remember, the debate on for an hour at 8 30pm on bbc one, so do stay with us for that. Now though, it is time for news watch. Hello and welcome to news watch with me samir ahmed. All other Major Party Leaders have faced the questioning of andrew neil but not Boris Johnson. Is this the fault of the bbc . And in a fractious campaign, have bbc interviews helped or hindered the election process . Interviews with Party Leaders during Election Campaigns are often feisty affairs and andrew neil is widely considered one of the bbcs toughest interrogators. As he showed this week with his questioning ofjo swinson and jofra archer. Borisjohnsons failure to commit himself firmly to andrew neils questioning initially led the bbc last week to say the Prime Minister would not be on the Andrew Marr Show until he committed to the andrew neil interview. But after fridays knife attack on London Bridge, the corporation withdrew that ultimatum, arguing it was now in the Public Int

Just to reiterate thats ukraine warning the Us Ambassador about the actions of the president s lawyer. The other former ambassador is
Disabled son died. One mp tells us she was horrified by the words. The majority of parliamentarians in parliament are just trying to do a decentjob and i think that those words, the use of those terms in that editorial, were entirely inappropriate and must have been very hurtful to David Cameron. And what happened after nadine pinnock, an unemployed 22 year old living in cardiff, posted this tweet appealing for work . Shes here to tell us. Hello. Welcome to the programme. Were live until 11 this morning. This solid gold toilet has gone missing from Blenheim Palace. It has been ripped out by thieves. How on earth they walked out with no one noticing, i dont know. We will talk to someone who might be able to tell us and about the attempt to try and track it down. Also what do you make of the guardians editorial saying that former pm David Cameron only experienced privileged pain when his disabled son died . The guardians apologised and changed the wording.
